To address the psychological toll of policing within the law enforcement community, the Howard C. Liebengood Foundation aims through this program is to create a nationwide infrastructure of policy recommendations, tools and programming focused on improved health, wellness and morale of law enforcement.

This will be accomplished through collaborative efforts uniting the full spectrum of experts, and study to identify what services and resources are most needed.
